Newcastle United and Southampton will get their 2015-16 Premier League campaigns underway on Sunday when they go head-to-head at St James' Park.

This match-up will represent Steve McClaren's first game back in the top-flight with his new club, while Ronald Koeman enters his second campaign with Southampton, who finished a impressive seventh place last season.
